APPLICATIONS
In the application illustrated below, a 6020 module is used to convert two 2-channel AES
signals to analog to feed the audio inputs of an analog VTR. Unbalanced monitor outputs
are used to drive a local audio monitoring system.
Even though it is a four channel device, the 6020 utilizes two separate 2-channel D/A con-
verters. In the application shown below, a 6020 module is used to convert two independent
2-channel AES signals to analog to feed the audio inputs of two independent 2-track
analog audio tape recorders. Care should be exercised when connecting the audio outputs
of the 6020 to ensure that one machine is connected to outputs 1 and 2 and the other
machine to outputs 3 and 4. This will ensure that the pairing of the AES input signals will
be preserved at the analog inputs of the two tape machines.
